The story of "Did you know? If you make a U-turn where it's prohibited... you'll get caught"

A siren suddenly blares in front of the station.

The police car that was a few vehicles behind.
The patrol car.

Turning on its light bar.
Getting serious.
The power of the state.

Coming to catch a good citizen...
Coming to catch me!!!

(Waaaaah! I-I knew it! I knew it was going to happen!?)

Hmm?

I've thought that a few times.

In the morning, I decided to go to the library near the station, so I got myself ready.

After driving for a bit

(Ah! Actually, maybe I don't need to go when it's probably crowded like this on a Sunday? The return date was supposed to be Tuesday...)

It had come...
It had come, that sort of premonition.

But.
I went through the trouble of putting on makeup and dressing up cute, you know?

Well, I figured I might as well go.

And so, when I arrived in front of the library, as expected.
There was a line for the parking lot!

(Hmm... I don't really want to wait for this...)

Alright.
I'll park at the nearby shopping mall, do some shopping, and then head home.

I drove for a while...
and stopped at a red light.

The light turned green, and I made a U-turn.

And then...
it led to the beginning.

(Wait... was I allowed to go here? Man, I can't remember. I feel like I kept seeing an orange arrow... and that police car a few vehicles behind me is bothering me too... I should check... Ah! It turned green! Well, but I think I remember someone else making a U-turn here normally before... It's probably fine... I'll g-)

Uncertain!

No, absolutely not!

Danger signals are flashing all over my brain!

A wise person stays away from danger!

I had several chances to turn back, yet I chose to dive right in.

I am a klutz...
A klutz-tsukune.

I pulled over to the side of the road and turned on my hazard lights.
A police officer appeared!

What will you do?
▶ Act like a polite adult

Tsukune is...
reading Hakozume.

I've learned just how hard the police officers at the local box are working, even if they aren't detectives.

"Oh, so U-turns were prohibited..."
"Did you overlook the sign...?"
"Hmm? ...Yes...?"

There wasn't a shred of anger or irritation.
It was 180% my fault.
If anything, I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry for adding to your paperwork over something like this...
My apologies!

Good evening.
It's time for TNN (Tsukune News Network).

This morning, at the intersection in front of the station, a light car ignored a 'No U-turn' sign, made a U-turn, and cheerfully charged into the intersection.

Around 10:00 this morning, a light car driven by a woman in her 40s living in the city entered an intersection where U-turns are prohibited, completely ignoring the sign, and was apprehended by a patrolling police officer.

"I read 'Hakozume', so I have nothing but respect for police officers."
"I'm never coming to the library again (when it's crowded on Sundays)."
"A while ago, when I told Kacchan, 'I'll never need the police in my life,' I guess I was setting myself up for a flag. I actually thought that at the time!"
"I'll buy a chocolate-covered Baumkuchen at FamilyMart on the way home. Five nights in a row. ...It's fine, just for today."

Although she is making nonsensical statements like these, it is reported that no drug use has been confirmed.
There were no injuries from this incident, the woman has generally admitted to the charges, and she was released after about 10 minutes.
